Year Two Cricket Tournament

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Miss Hyde

On Friday 25th May some Year Two children took part in a Cricket Tournament at The Grange.  The weather was perfect for Cricket and the children were very excited as we walked across to The Grange.

When they arrived they were split into three groups and were taught lots of new skills by the Year 8 students.

 

Bowling

 

The children were taught how to play French Cricket, how to use the cricket bats and how to bowl the balls.

 

They also had great fun playing a team building game using a hula hoop!

 After a well deserved break for a drink and  a snack the children were put into small teams for some cricket matches.  They were playing with other teams from Highcliffe St Marks and Mudeford Infant School and all the children had a great time.

Keep your eye on the ball!

Even though there were no overall winners every child recieved a certificate and a huge round of applause for taking part.

The children from Ruby Class have made a short video of the tournament.

Facing Our Fears

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Mrs Hudson

The final day saw us all having to take a leap of faith and face our fears on the 40ft Abseiling Wall.  As we approached the wall, some of us started to get a few butterflies in our tummies and as we turned the corner and saw the huge wooden structure looming tall above our heads, many children were heard muttering the fateful words, “OMG!”  It really did look a threatening and challenging beast!  Some decided this was not the time to face their fears; some got harnessed up but didn’t make it to the ladder; some made it up the ladder but had to be rescued back down by Mr Pearson but the brave and adventurous succeeded in their bucket loads.  A few wobbly legs were seen shaking at the top as the children had to back themselves off the top of the tower and some children began their descent by trying to head butt their way through the wall!!!  There were a few ‘dangling spider’ techniques in action and some who fancied their chances as a future James Bond, jumping their way down the tower.  However, the overall abseiler extraordinaire was Aaron who managed to get from top to bottom in less than 5 seconds with a ‘free fall drop’ manoeuvre!!  Have a look at our heroic abseilers in the pictures below.
